Rexel Shredders

There are shredders and there are Rexel shredders, so why buy Rexel? After all, all the machine is doing is shredding paper.

Rexel have been making business machines for over 50 years and Rexel shredders are sold in over 120 countries so they must be doing something right.

Choosing a shredder depends on your personal requirements in terms of the security level and usage. In terms of security levels, the higher the security level, the smaller the width of strip or size of confetti cut. Rexel shredders display a security level logo on their business shredders.

Besides security and usage, there are other things that you need to consider before choosing your shredder.

Bin size – You don’t want to have to be emptying the bin every 5 mins so choose a Rexel shredder with a bin size adequate for your purpose. For example bin sizes can range between a massive 200 litres in the Rexel RLWX30 down to 10 litres in the Rexel Alpha Home Shredder.

Paper Size – Not all paper that needs shredding is A4. Rexel provide wide entry shredders that have a shredder mouth of 400mm such as the RLWS41 which can shred paper of A3 size as well as computer listing paper.

Feed Mechanism – In high volumes, you wouldn’t want to be standing feeding sheets into the shredder so Rexel have automatic feeds which can automatically feed up to 650 sheets at a time and will even cope with paper that’s stapled together. The Rexel Auto+ 650 shredder is an example.

Anti-Jam – Put too much paper into some shredders and they’ll judder to a halt. Rexel have introduced the revolutionary ‘Mercury’ jam free technology which warns the user by displaying a red light if they try to feed too much paper in one go.

Energy usage and the environment – Most of the Rexel shredder range come with a power save mode after 2 minutes of non use. In addition, make sure you check the operating noise levels of any shredders you’re considering.
